In a scene from the last season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel，Brown plays Reggie，a hard-nosed manager. His language is rough，but his eyes reveal something more: Hes feeling guilty and defensive. Or look at his work on NBCs hit drama This Is Us，where Brown plays Randall Pearson，a Black man adopted by a white family. Again，Browns eyes reveal a lot.

Grateful as he is for his nominations，Brown also sees the record number of Black performers nominated for Emmys-about 34%of the acting nominees this year-as a welcome reaction to the civil rights reckoning and Black Lives Matter protests of the summer. The actor says its also part of a long march towards recognition of Black performers，held back by oppression in Hollywood back to the early 1900s，when white people wore blackface to play Black characters in films. Brown has made history at awards shows before: In 2018，he became the first Black man to win best actor in a drama at both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild awards. With degrees from Stanford University and New York Universitys Tisch School of the Arts，Brown has spent about two decades appearing on TV shows like Lifetimes Army Wiaves and his first series regular role，playing a cop on FXs short-lived 2005 drama Starved. These days Brown is excited about the new season of This Is Us，which will begin with two episodes addressing both the coronavirus pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests. 1.Why does the author mention the TV series in Paragraph 2？ A. To indicate that Brown is an excellent actor. B. To support the idea that Brown is an eye act
